THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS HIDING

The Gonzo Daily - Monday.
Once again those eagle-eyed amongst you will see that I am posting these blogs at an unholy time of the morning; a time that a sane God would never allow. Basically, I've not been to bed yet. If I can appropriate the title of a Syd Barrett biography from a few years ago, at the moment I have a very irregular head. My periods of bipolar upset usually only last a few days at a time, but I have now been ill for most of the last three or four weeks, and every time that I think I am getting a respite it proves to be a false dawn. Mind you, it could be worse: back in 2002 I collapsed on Paddington Station on the 11th September, and didn't recover until just before Christmas. But I digress. I was asleep for most of Sunday, and as I am (a) not tired and (b) relatively sane at the moment, I would rather do them now and have a lie-in...
Another visit to our old friend Thom the World Poet.

*  The Gonzo Daily is a two-way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at  jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work or even just say hello,  please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow....

*  The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link:

* We should probably mention here that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 54 who,  together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange), puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus...did we mention the orange cat?
